Started a new job and took a major pay cut doing so. But the opportunity arose and I jumped on it. I have to keep telling myself that it will pay off...it's what I went to school for for crying out loud.

My first child will be here in any day now...pretty much freaking out right now.

With the new job and my first born being so close together I've never been so stressed in my entire life. Can't eat, vomiting, no sleep...someone get me some Vagisil!

So this is to all the people who have called my progress crappy or that it looks like ****. Or i have ruined yet another ef. This is all i have to say to you people. UNLIKE you i took it to the next left i accually spent the time to fix the body and put a grounds effect kit on and paint the car BY MY SELF. NO SHOPS. UNlike you i have owned this car for 8 years and never once has it been to a shop unless for a saftey. I have done every single bit of work to this car BY MY SELF. Since i was 15 years old. (now take the time to bash on me all you want. the difference is it looks good and i did every thing my self.

Whoa there buddy.... You might have done all of that stuff yourself, but most people on this site are not going to see your car as attractive and you shouldn't expect them to. if you like it and are happy with the results, that's all that should matter anyways.

The car still looks like ****. The bumper, the fact that the door still has trim on it, and the bondo showing trough stand out. You should never use bondo for anything other than filling very small pores AFTER using fiberglass. You need to use fiberglass because it doesnt absorb water. As soon as that bondo is exposed to weather it will absorb the water and start bubbling.

Why did you decide to run the trim on the door and nowhere else? Are those EG fenders/hood?

Additionally, if you're going to rant, please ensure that your spelling and grammar are on point.

How do you remove the fenders? And well done for assuming that others have just had a shop do their work. There are a lot people on here who've had their car for years, done the work themselves and got results that aren't nearly as sloppy.

Did you say you sanded it after this pic? I doubt that quarter would've come up flat without going back through the base coat.

I just bought my first Honda maybe 5 or 6 months ago. 1991 DX I've fallen in love with the thing, but a few weeks ago 2 valves stopped producing compression

Long story short, instead of buying another valve set I'm just swapping it for a D16a6 with an SI transmission I found at a local junkyard for a fairly decent price.

After much googling and using the search bar on this forum, I'm still a little bit confused about the swap. Are the only things I'm going to need to swap the engine a DPFI to MPFI switch? Will my harness (D15b) work with this SI engine no problem?
